Half Past

  • Still looking for you
    In all of these rooms
    I see your face in the trees and the hills
    What would a good man do

    We had some bad times
    And I guess that I could take the blame
    You say we’re nothing if not a joke
    I guess I feel the same

    I’m stone cold sober and I’ve been for miles
    Been going ‘round in circles all this time
    Trying to shake the things we said and did
    But it’s a long way home
    I might see signs all over, but I’m blind
    There’s something missing I can’t seem to find
    The night is only half past dead
    And I’m all alone

    I lean for the sea
    But I never get far
    How many men must have died on the way
    To get you to where you are

    But I’m on the last verse
    And I think I’m hearing the invisible choir
    You shook my hand and I sold all my things
    And set my house on fire

    I’m stone cold sober and I’ve been for miles
    Been going ‘round in circles all this time
    Trying to shake the things we said and did
    But it’s a long way home
    I might see signs all over, but I’m blind
    There’s something missing I can’t seem to find
    The night is only half past dead
    And I’m all alone

    I’m falling over, trying to drink the night
    I’ve been going ‘round in circles all this time
    The devil’s dancing on my bedroom floor,
    Saying “it’s time to go”
    My hands are shaking, someone tie me down
    I’m pushing daisies any moment now
    The night is only half past dead
    And I’m all alone
    The night is only half past dead
    And I’m all alone
